Life is unpredictable. One minute everything’s great and the next it’s turned into a disaster scenario. And sometimes these disaster periods can last for 20 years. When they finally end you cannot remember what normality was and your adult children don’t even know what the good old days were. The easiest way around this messiness is simply to gamble and if circumstances prevent you from getting to the casino, stay home and gamble online. I used to be a frequent visitor to the Casino du Liban in the old days, which ended last Wednesday. The casino had 3 gaming rooms - the International, the Mediterranean and the Cercle D'Or and offered a wide variety of games including American Roulette, Black Jack, Punto Banco and Casino Stud Poker with bets to suit everyone. The slots area featured over 300 jackpots and progressive machines of the latest Las Vegas Type. There were also 2 showrooms, the Salle des Ambassadeurs and the Theater with large stages and seating capacities which hosted outstanding performances. People came from all over the world to play here. Now I am at home in my study gambling online, quite a change. I miss the food too. The Casino had 5 restaurants and bars. And then there were those beautiful Lebanese girls… That’s what change is all about. The high rollers at the Casino Du Liban played Punto Banco, a variety of Baccarat. This is a fast and furious but very simple game. So I decided to try playing Punto Banco online. There are few rules and learning how to play Punto Banco baccarat is as easy as counting up to ten. You first place a bet upon the correct spot on the internet Punto Banco baccarat table. Then the dealer hands you a card and you then have few options: If the total of your two cards is 0-5 you must draw another card. If your total is 6-7 you must stand. If your total is 9 you win. A total of eight dictates the same according to Punto Banco rules. The winner of Punto Banco is the one with the highest hand total. Next weekend I will play Punto Banco in my online casino.
